Subject: [PATCH] drivers: devfreq: change devfreq workqueue mechanism

This patch removes devfreq's custom workqueue and uses system one.
It switches from queue_delayed_work() to schedule_delayed_work().
It also changes deferred work to delayed work, which is now not missed
when timer is put on CPU that entered idle state.
The devfreq framework governor was not called, thus changing the frequency
of the device did not happen.
Benchmarks for stressing Dynamic Memory Controller show x2
performance boost with this patch when 'simpleondemand_governor' is
responsible for monitoring the device load and frequency changes.
With this patch, the scheduled delayed work is done no mater CPUs' idle.
It also does not wake up the system when it enters suspend (this
functionality stays the same).
All of the drivers in devfreq which rely on periodic, guaranteed wakeup
intervals should benefit from it.
